Connie,
I didn't even think about buying plants from VioletGallery.........good idea.............I just can't plant any more leaves.......already have 6 trays stuck.................and.............I love taking leaves from existing plants......maybe I will do that............

I got lucky last night on ebay with David Thompson on prices..............

Alright, Gail, spill it sister! What did you get from David Thompson??

I got a lot last night..........couldn't even believe the prices I got for the first time. You just never know............I will have to go to paypal to copy and paste the list. Be right back............

Gail, can't wait to see pictures of your new babies! I can see there are some true Gessie Lovers on this forum ... seems like someone is always posting about buying plants or leaves from somewhere! LOL, I wish I had the energy some of y'all do!

Wow Lynn, what great looking plants!

By the way ... where is Tommie and Goldleaf? I haven't seen them post in awhile. And, has anyone every heard how Cedarnest/Nancy is doing? I sure miss her. Another one missing is Bmedel/Brenda, but I bet she's staying busy with the family business.

Thanks,Lin!!

The only one I have heard from lately is Tommie.She is super busy moving all of her plants and she has little Alex to visit too.

I will see if I can find his new picture.

(Lynn) Omaha, NE(Zone 5a)

I decided I had better not post it without asking Gran,but he sure is a doll!!

Taft, TX(Zone 9a)

I miss Brenda, Goldleaf and nancy, too!!!
Good pics, Lynn, and I miss growing those weird ones, too. I think it has to be seed ordering time again......have to check with jannich when she gets home tonight! We always get our list going together. She just sent me Sinningia speciosa 'Jack Evans' red and 'Jack Evans' purple. I could at least start those.
Here is what they looked like last year.

Let me find one.

Gail, they are beautiful ... LOL, where's the picture?

Nottingham, MD(Zone 7a)

Gail, pls. post pics when you get your DT order. I want to see the Blackhawk.

The Jack Evans sinns are so gorgeous!

Taft, TX(Zone 9a)

I couldn't find my pictures of the Jack Evans sinns from last year........I just realized we already have more than 130 posts. Someone want to start a new September 3 gessies?

Our dial up people are going to fuss at us!!!

(Lynn) Omaha, NE(Zone 5a)

I will see if I can find the picture of the Jack Evans Red Jannich sent me from the last time the two of you ordered seeds.

(Lynn) Omaha, NE(Zone 5a)

Here is a not so great picture of the Blackhawk I used to have (I put down a few leaves).

I'd love to have some of those Jack Evans seeds! Where did you get them from, Gail?

Nottingham, MD(Zone 7a)

Blackhawk is really pretty, I ldo ove the variegated leaves!

Amy, if she got them from the Gesneriad Society, I'm going to place that seed order I've been meaning to get around to! I think I'll order the other kinds of Sinns, though. Not the speciosas. What are the others called? Like the one gail posted on the new Sept. Gessies thread......

Taft, TX(Zone 9a)

We have a new thread but I don't know how to tell you to link up there.........called September Gessies #4

Jannich got them from the national Gesneriad Convention for me, Rain...............last year I think we got them from the Gesneriad Society..........

Gloxinia may be what you are talking about Growhappy..........you can buy them from David Thompson on ebay.....plant_maniac........his own hybrids.......

I do think about Nancy often and how hard this must be on her trying so hard to fully recover........such a sweetheart. She probably loves your messages and smiles when she hears your voice!!!
